T / Carrie—Ofioial g *\II Ty agaiust much, if THE OMAHA DAILY BEE UNDAY, AUTGUST 23, 18901—SIXTEEN PAGES THE CONDITION OF TRADE, An Increased Demand for Ourrency from Country Banks, -\ BUSINESS VERY FAIR FOR THE SEASON. Jobbers Report Conditions in the Sir- ng Country as Favorable Very Large and Lucras tive Fall Trade. The leading feature in local financial cir- cles is the increased demand for currency from country banks with which to move the crops. This demand will probably keep up until corn is ready tor market, and then the calls for money will rapidly increase. As the season advances and the prospects for an exceedingly large corn crop vontinue, the trade horizon appears to brighten. Whuile it will be somo time before tho money from the fail crops will be placed in circulation, its 1nfluence is already folt. The people are confident of atly improved conditions later in the fall are alveady discounting them, Bvery week shows an improvement in the fecling. During the middle of the summer the retail trado was buying from Laud to mouth, but s the season has advanced they have gained in courage and are now more willing to an- ticipate their wants and assume some obliga- tions, generally report a ve s trade and evor thing in their territory in a most satis facic coudition, ‘Tho movement of oo s as yet is t very heavy, but it is fully upto the vorage for this season. In the grocery lino there vance of J-16c on sugar which Omaba job- bers aro still selling at cost. There is like to be a big demand for sugar for the next thirty days and it is a question if the market will bo any lower, as itis in the control of a few refiucrs, who can put_prices where they please. Coffes bas declined !/c per pound during the past week and the prospects are for a still further dvop in prices. Other lines of goods do not present any special fea- tures worthy of mention. OF the grocery trado in New York the Bullotin says: It is a somewhat barven field for crisp and inter- esting information on_tho wholesale market for staple groceries. Buyers, as before so frequently advised, arealmost entirely froo from speculative inclination i the majority of goods, aud heuce deals are conducied in & more or less slow and methodical manner, and free from excite: moent and flurey. It is, however, the old story of the tortoise and the hare, and the quiet, steady movement of goods into consumption 1s calculated upon 1o exhaust a good average quantity and maintain heaithy relations be- tween buyers and sellers. The general first hand assortment now within reach, is proba- bly quite as liberal as ordinary at this season, in’some instances rather fuller, but it is in £ood bands, and with the 'primal points seuding only information of a supporting the chances are apparently any lower price: at least. Kvidences = from depen- dent poiuts bring & rencwal of evi- dences that consuming wants will make an More or less prominent operators from the west, recently in the city, report a much vetter distributive trade than'they had calculated upon up to date, with every pros- pect of further and more rapid 1mprovement, basine claims upon the generally prosperous condition of the country. Itis claimed that 125t year the farmers were behind in financial ‘matters, with only fair products to help them out, but have gradually worked into good shape, and now with excellent crops proimis ing good average return they may fully clear selves and have something to spare. his, placed i conjunction with the univer- sal cheapness of groceries, seems to lusure an exceilent full distribution’ on all natural out- lets and possibly some lifting of present values The local dry goods jobbers make a very cheerful report of the condition of trade in their line. Sad one of them speaking on tho outlook in the country. “It would do any business man good to see the -letters which we receive from country customers and note the change in their tone since a month ago. Men who were as blue as could be last spring write us letters now orim full of confi- dence.” From the same source as mentioned above 1t is leacned that in New York the prevuiling conditions of the macket at first hands dur- ing the week under review differed in few respocts from what have recently been re- poried. The attendance of buyers has been moderate and spot transactions doevoid of spirit, buvers plodding along from day " to day taking care of im- mediate requivements only in the leading staple liues. The demand which came for- has been an ad- well. The jobbing trader was very active cre, there veing a good general attendance of néar-by retailers and others from moro distant points, but the city trade was not particularly in 'evidence. The raports which came to huud from western_points aro ull of a most hopoful charactor. Current businoss there is active, and an_unusunlly heavy full trade is geverally counted upon.” The offects of this will be more strongly evident here Intor on, At present it suffices to keep buy- \Wurd through the mails and by wire kept up — - ers busv reordering Grom week to_week, and &s they feel thoeir position more assured their orders are likely to expand in keeping. The absence of southern buying of any material extent has still to be reckoned with, there not yet being any evidence of matters improvineg much in that connection. Agents naturally feel move hopeful unaer the undoubted evi- dence of good busi s in the west and north- west, but they are still viewing the market, in domestics certainly, through the medium ! the stocks they are individually carrying. hese stocks vary considerably, owing 1o the fuct that for some time past buyers have con- fined their attention within _pretty well de- fined lumits of leading brands, and the good position which some of these have undoubt- edly reactied has been at tho oxpense of less favored lines, Business in fall prints is murked by something of the same character in the duplicating trade now coming forward. Noveities, such as aro noted below, which have taken popular fancy, ave in excellent sbapo as a rule, and yet in tho general run of styles there is 1o particular snap noticeable, Print cloths at the close of the week were fractionally lower and weak at the decline, Omaha hardware men report the wholesale trade as a little x‘ulev. just now, but about on an average for the month. There have been no important changes 1n prices, but when the demand sets in a little later some advance is anticipated, as values aro now very low. In New York business is sald to be moving along much the same as usual. Orders come in from travelers, from customers ordering by mail anda from some in personul attend- ance, but no unusual invoices are made up and there is the old refusal to anticipate the future, though the latter plan is not sug- gested to many customers owing to back- wardness in settlements. The supply here 1s well shaped up for any ordiuary draft, either as to quantity or assortment, and no more than provious rates quoted, while it is protty certain that many small shadings are requently made to socure desirable order: Nuils bave been quiet and nominally uu- changed. So far as the regular trade may want stocks they do not hesitate to put in orders promptly, but the wants are small and uncertain, and afford no real satisfuction. COUNTRY PRODUCE, While the fluctuations have uot been large thero have been some important changes in values. Kggs which sold earlier in the week largelv at 13150 weakeved and were only quotable at 18w Iiise, ‘The receipts of butter were light ana the market in the best grades strong. Strictly choice dairy butter sells readily at 158@16c but the lower grades of such stock as have to bo reworked brings only 90, Arrivals have met with very prompt salé, In poultry old fowls even those that were real desirable in quality have been very slow and shippers ought not to anticipate over &1.00 for fanoy stock. Spring chickens have the preference and they are crowding out the old fowls, The best springs sell up to #5,00, aud somo fancy stock has occasionally brought more money. The small sizes do not sell to advantage und have to be disposed of as low as §.00.

Her name is Nettie Lunt, and during her mother’s absence a gust of wind blew some clothes from a rack on the stove, and they caught fire. Net- tie promptly sent her sister Bebe, aged three. for her mother. Nettie then shut all the doors and windows to prevent draft, and went calmly to work to sub- due the flames, which she held at bay until help arrived. The Bar Harbor Record says her dress caught fire, but she had the presence of mind to put this out and still keep at work, and ro doubt saved the home from destruction. Pt ks DeWitt's Littlo Early Kisers; onty pill to cure sick headache and reguiate thé be.ols ——— A St. Bernard dog beame involved in quarrel with two curs at Wilmington, Del., the other day. The curs snap and growled at the canine bully, which turned and made the little fellows *‘ki- yi.” Another dog, which was watching the row, saw that the curs were getting the worst of the fight, and immedintely started for help, At Whiteman's livery stable he found three collies and another large dog, to whom the situation was quickly explained by parks. The four stable aogs made a dush to the corne When the St. Bernard saw the re- enforcements coming he found that he had important business in the direction of Market street. The curs thanked the collies for their timely aid by wageing thoir tails, and the collies went back to the stable. “New Englanders,” says a Missouri man, *“‘are all the time talking about the wild and woolly west in a way to imply that wild beasts are prowling about the strects of our cities. But, us a matter of fuct more bears are killed in Maine than in half a dozen western states. The bear bounty in that state is $10 per head, and at least 500 tens ave claimed yearly. I haven’t a thing against the east or its bears, but when I hear so much about the dangers of the west, I like to contemplate the dangers from bears in the extreme northeast, If 500 bears a year were killed in Missouri or Illinois what a cry of dangerund pio- neer tribulation would o up in cultured New England, e A Sybille, Wyo., ranchman reports snakes uncommonly numerous in that region. One day recently, while he was cutting hay, he killed seventeen big rat- tlers in less than an hour and nearly every one of them, when cut in two by the mower, had in its stomach a mole or gopher it had swallowed whole. In one instance the gopher was still alive when it dropped out on the ground, but died in a few minutes, though it was not man- gled and seemed to be all right at first. e It has been a matter of dispute wheth- e lurge birds of proy will attack chil- dren. Not long since, however, an old woman in Switzerland was obliged to tuke refuge under a tree, and defond herself against the repeated attacks of an Alpine vulture, which in accordance with the habits of that rapacious bird, when 1t wishes to overthrow its prey, struck her with repeated blows from its wings, It was finally frightened away bp the cries of its victim after it had made several unsuccessful attem pts, .

The cause removed, the disease is gono, - ety The St. John Typobar. Thoe day of the type setting machine has come and the final decade of the nineteenth century will soo its wide- spread use. Neither the application of m, nor the perfoction of the web printing press has beon followod by suchia rovolution in the printing and newspaper field as wiil surely take {\l:\«' on the general adoption of this abor saving invention. While the nae ture und extent of this revolution may be left to speculation, thore remains no doubt that many changes of method in the conduct of printing, and more especially in tho nowss paper business, must necessarily take place. Recognizing this a 't, the enterprising publisher will ac- copt the new ordor of alfairs and turn as best ho can to his advantage such oppors tunities for economy and prolit as shall rosult therefrom. A moment’s thought will convinee any one that in the contest among compet- ing machines for the survival of the fittost, the decision will dopend upon tho answer to the question: “Which is tho speediest?” for it is the incrensed spoed which will enable the machine to sup- plant the labor of the hand, and, like wise, it is the speed which will dotor- mine the superiorty of the successful machine, This matter of speed of the machine do- pends upon the capability of the machine to respond to thedemands made upon it, perfoetly and with absolute cortainty at all times, well upon tho mental and physical speed limits attainable by the oporator. The wction of assombling the matrics is positive and practically instantan- eous: they all travel the saine distanco, guided to” their position by the sume Kind of mechanism and the same amount of forec, nud only in the ovder of ro- leasing. The justification, the proe ducing of the lind of type, and tho dis tribution of the matrices after use, are done automatically, and vequire only one and one-hal onds in the opera- tion. An ingenious device will permit, in case the wrong matrix is released, a correction to be made before completing the line. As the line of type is formed from cold metal, by compression, therc is no ex- pense for gas, or other means for melt- ing metals. The type-bar is made up of two parts; one, a permanent buse or blank, to be wused over and over and s in theory purt of tho machine; the other part being a slight strip of type metal, in the nature of a supply, which is mount- od upon the edge of the blank simul- tancously with the operation of impre sing the characters upon it. This type metal strip is removed from the baraftor use and may bo remelted and reformed for further use at a vory slight expense, and without appreciable loss of metal, When the matrices aro released they are pushed into position without touch ing other pavts of the machine except by slight feiction; and as the operation of forming the bar is in effect, as the a tion of a die, the life of a matrix is far longer than in the case where molten metal is used. Proof of this is seen in the coining of money, bearing in mind that type metal is far softer than silvel or gold. The permanent portion of the type-bar is subject to no more than the slight weur in' their use, either on the printing press or in the steam chest, dur- ing the operation of stereotyping. The absence of all heat about the machine avoids all danger of molecular adhesion of two metals brought together in a heated condition whereby the line of type would be made defective. Likewise there is anabsence of all evils attendant upon continual heating and chilling of the matrices and the parts surrounding the impression chamber. The machines arc built of the best material to be obtained for the several parts, and are especially reinforced at points bearing the greatest strains, They are absolutely guaranteed as to workmanship. Moreover the compres- sion process insures with absolute cer- tainty that onch and every type bar shall be perfect, as there can be no air bubbles, blisters, chilled metal or de- feet of impression; thus giving the ma- chine n high efliciency and eliminating all dead work which would result from over or under heated motal, or the pros- ence of air, or other deleterious substance in the same. All the opel #ions of the machine being positive direct and automatic, upor the skill and intelligence of the operator depend the speed and tho correctness of the rosults The machine is operated on a ke, board, on the priveiple of tho Reming- ton typewriters, The adoption of the point system of types allies the type bodies to this gen- erully necepted improvement. The spacing isdone on an entively new prineiple which opposes to the adjacent matrices two sides which are held us immovable as the matrices themselves, and between which the moveble part of the spucer is pushod, thoreby avoiding any displacement of the aliznment or of the impression surface of the bar, it i A very small pill, but a very good 0@ DeWiLt's Little isarly Risers. ekl kiR Expressive Phrases .
